Server errors on almost all my apps - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I just switched from tmobile prepaid to at&t prepaid (no choice, need better coverage bc I travel a bunch with work, and they pay for most of it). Ever since I switched all my Google services get a server error and can't connect, on cell data only, over wifi they connect fine. Tonight I noticed other apps are doing the same thing, like Falcon pro, things that use g+ for multiplayer, etc.
I've already tried clearing cache and data on Google play and play services. Then I wiped dalvik and cache. Didn't help. Any ideas?

Have you changed any APN settings between the time you used your phone on T-Mobile and AT&T?

sounds like your data speeds are horrible. wiping cache/dalvik has nothing to do with your issue. sounds like your issue is either att prepaid or your apn.

No I haven't touched my apn settings. They all say something with "cingular" in them. I've never messed work apn did so I hadn't thought of that. Any recommendations?

I would agree you might be on AT&T's Edge (2G) network which sucks for doing anything as its so slow. What network shows up in settings>about phone>status?

So with these settings above, I get no mms, can't send or receive. Is there any harm to using straight talk APNs or LTE APNs even though LTE is not supported (officially) on my phone?

They only work if you have that service, same for the mobile data card APN your trying now.
Have you checked to make sure you have 4G (HSPA+), or 3G service from AT&T in your area. Could be you only have 2G service in your area. While AT&T's coverage is better than T-Mobile it doesn't come anywhere close to that of Verizon and they still have a lot of 2G only coverage areas especially rural areas outside of major cities.

Well I'm in Orlando, we have great coverage. That's not the issue. I think my default APN was messed up somehow. I called into AT&T and they wanted me to do a hard wipe of the phone. I doubt that would change anything.

My default APN settings are exactly the same as yours listed above. Also, i have HSPA 10 and HSPA+ 15 showing in about phone. Could this be one of those occassions where the location is so busy that they boot me to a slower signal? I have full bars HSPA at all times.

If your device is showing HSPA+ 10,15 then the phone is getting a 4G signal and yes if too many people are using a tower, or hogging all the bandwidth, at any given time it will slow everyone down. The bandwidth available is finite and has to be split between everyone using it. Try conectng late at night and see if you're speeds pick up.
I only get Edge (2G) at work and sending an MMS is nearly impossible, takes 20 minutes at best to send and Words with Friends won't connect to its server and that uses hardly any data at all. Could be that so many people on on the towers around you that it's down to 2G speeds even though it says HSPA+ on the phone. New York and San Francisco are a couple of areas where AT&T was famous for incredibly slow data speeds with iPhones for years because of all the people trying to use towers at the same time..

Thanks. While I don' expect that is the problem as Orlando is not really a super saturated market, it could be.
I was getting great speeds with the mobile hotspot apn settings, but obviously no mms. Can i use a different set of MMS settings as the top server and proxy settings? also I just realized I have to reset the phone every time i make a change. I probably already found a good working set but didnt do a reset. lol

Well, I was trying to fix my apn settings on my sgs2 import because I was not getting mms messages and I used the "Reset to default" feature in the apn menu. I got three new apn settings that replaced the ones I had put in manually. The new ones are: ATT PHONE, ATT WAP, and BROADBAND. The settings seem to match the ones that are commonly sited for AT&T "4g" phones. So my guess is that AT&T recognized something new about my phone and gave me the "new" sgs2 settings. I used to get the Cingular 410 settings. Everything is working fine now.
You may want to just try Reset to default. I have the new AT&T "4g" sim and I am in the DC area just for reference.

To anybody on a grandfathered unlimited plan or the data for non-Smart Phones plan don't do this. I did, and like the OP said, it overlayed new default settings. These setting don't work unless you're on a 4G data plan. I lost all data connectivity afterward. I deleted the new (now the default) APN settings and replaced them with a new APN I had to create with the orignal settings. I'm also guessing for this to have happened that AT&T now recognizes the international SGS2 as a 4G phone running on their network. Otherwise, why would the default APN settings suddenly change? I hope this doesn't mean the end of the (almost) free ride we've been getting. So any APN settings posted from the AT&T version of the phone will be useless unless you're being billed for an official 4G plan.
In case anyone needs them, below are the standard settings:
Name: AT&T
APN: wap.cingular

Just to clarify, I have the grandfathered unlimited data plan, have a 4g sim and had my account changed to the use the 4G SOC code : HSDPPB. So in my case unlimited data and 4g are not mutually exclusive. I am getting the same speeds (6mbs - 8mbs) as I was when I manually entered the recommended setting from the "fix your apn" thread but now my mms is working.
I am not recommending anyone do it or not do it, just sharing my experience.

Anyone on a 4G plan, no matter how they got there, would benefit from the new APN. Anyone on a 3G plan will lose data connectivity. I get up to 8MB down in a fake-4G area using the Cingular 410 APN on a 3G plan. I get 3MB down at home in an area that's not been upgraded.
APN Settings for 3g on AT&T
Hi everyone. I added a new APN using the settings that BarryH_GEG posted. I had just bought the SGS2 I9100 off eBay. It was bought at a great price. Now, when I had put in my Sim card, it was not recognizing the data network. Weird because it showed my Sim contacts and my Sim and Network info in the About the Phone section in Settings. Because of this forum, it now reads my Sim along with the 3G ATT network. I was starting to get pissed, then realized it was just the APN settings. Now everything works great. Best phone I have ever owned. Thanks again BarryH_GEG for the settings info..

I'd been dorking around with my APN settings off and on for the past month... Didn't even consider the "Reset to default" option until reading your post. Worked like a champ. I had the exact same results AT&T Philadelphia area.
For those trying to getthe i9100 ICS XXLPB AT&T settings
After reading many threads, stretching my Google-fu to the limit, flashing many modems, and spending an hour on the phone with AT$T Tech support, I found a solution and will try to pay it forward.
First roll back to XXKPA modem.
Then create two APNs.
The first:
(Enter only the listed values. Leave all other fields at their default values. )
Name: AT&T
APN: wap.cingular
Proxy: wireless.cingular.com
Port: 80
MMSC: mmsc.cingular.com
MMS Proxy: wireless.cingular.com
MMS Port: 80
APN Protocol: IPv4/IPV6
APN Type: default,supl,fota,dun
***SAVE!***
Then create the second:
Name: Broadband
APN: Phone
APN Protocol: IPv4
***SAVE!***
Select the radio button for Broadband APN.
Enable and then disable Airplane Mode.
Then you will see the 3g/H+ icons flashing and you are done!

The APN depends on the type of DATA (3G/4G) that is provisioned (SOC) on each individual's account.
1) wap.cingular is the correct APN if your account is provisioned for 3G DATA
2) phone is the correct APN if your account is provisioned for 4G DATA
With regards to the 3G/H/H+ icon that depends on the cell site and not the APN configured on the phone. With GSM technology, the phone tells the cell site this is what I am capable of and the cell site tells the phone what it is capable of and then the phone utilizes the best possible option.
As an example, if the cell site is upgraded to HSPA+ the phone will display H+, if the cell site is only capable of UMTS it would display 3G.

Here is a thread I started a while back that discusses my findings with APNs on AT&T...

Basically, the pta apn worked best and you have to be on the LTE data plan and have an LTE sim to use it. More information is in the thread I posted.

AT&T Apn desperate help

So im trying figure out how to get the best speeds with my N4. Always seeing the posts about how ATT doesnt auto detect these nexus devices on the right plan. So i called up, had them provision my account. Althought i dont think he knew what he was doing, he asked for my sim card number and said i was on a 4g plan. Looking at my account on MyaTT it shows my phone has Data 3GB for smartphones 4g. Im guessing thats the correct plan.
Although when i try all these APN settings people suggest i cant get a data connection with them. Trying to use the LTE\pta apn i never get a data connection. Only when i use the Wap.Cingular one. Using speed test app i get 2.5 download and 2 upload on average. People on here report much higher then that.
Any ideas?
My N4 sometimes have problems connecting to network. It shows that it's connected and I can see the small arrows but speedtest shows network communication issues. I came from LG Thrill with grandfathered unlimited data. I can use both wap.cingular and phone APN. wap.cingular tops out at just below 8mpbs while phone tops out at just over 14mbps on a good day. On bad days, both are around 5-50kbps with over 5 second ping time..
Got the dreaded ATT text early this morning that they switched me from the $10 non smartphone data plan to the $30/3Gb data pro plan.
I got good 4-7mbps speeds while on the $10 data plan. I live in Orlando and have both LTE and HSPA plus. I can hit 10-12 mpbs when I forcedy iPhone 5 to hspa from LTE.
I was using the nexus 4 on my space line with the $10 data plan.
Unfortunately selling the nexus 4 cause I don't want to pay the $30 data plan. I already pay $30 for iPhone 5 data plan so not good idea to pay another $30 for data.
Just selling nexus 4 for at cost. Don't care about ripping people off.
I hate u ATT,

Unless you have an LTE plan, you wont be able to connect to a PTA APN. You'll want to use an HSPA+ phone APN for best speeds. Remember that not all coverage areas are going to see equal data speeds. Netowrk development and congestion are factors when it comes to real world data speeds.

So should i tell ATT i want a LTE plan? Am i on the right plan based on what my myATT account is showing? Everyone who has a N4 is saying they do get a data connection when selecting the LTE APN, so shouldnt i too?
Should i do this and give htem an Atrix 4G IMEI to re provision my account? http://gdgt.com/discuss/how-i-was-finally-provisioned-for-4g-on-my-atandt-galaxy-nexus-i8z/

Net10 Sim Issues.....Anybody Else?

I have had my Nexus 4 about a week and a half now. I am trying to decide what service to go with, and I have tired a T-Mobile prepaid sim and am currently attempting to use Net10 Sim with an ATT micro-sim purchased from Best Buy.
I have been having so many data issues with Net10, I would say it is not even usable. My APN settings are below, but doing some internet searches, it seems like there are Data connectivity issues with Net10? I was just going to see if anybody else has experienced this and if they found a way to tweek the APN settings to make this work. Net10 support reps have yet to offer any solution. I go for periods without any data at all while my signal is blue with an H (I am typically on HSPA+ 15 or 10). I cannot use many of my apps that require data and I have to refresh websites multiple times to get it to load.
Do the same issues exist on Straight Talk with the ATT Micro-Sim? I did not have any issues like this with the T-Mobile prepaid sim so I do not believe it is a radio issue. I am trying to find out about ATT through either straight-talk or Net10 since T-Mobile does not have a signal in my wife's school. Thanks!

I've updated this setting. Data is very slow and I am still unable to use some apps that work fine on WiFi such as SatelliteGuys (works after I try several times), XDA (haven't used successfully) & SpeedTest (doesn't work says network communication issues) & DishRemote App (can't login even). Google music seems to work and I can send texts, will try an mms soon. I'm really thinking this is an issue with Net10. I've barely used any data so I don't think I am throttled. Really bad service thus far.
Assuming Straight Talk has the same issues with the ATT service? BTW, I am in the Kansas City metro area, full strength.
i used to have net10 and on some days the internet wouldn't work
Any data interruption, I would say it's AT&T service in your area. NET10 is the same as Straight Talk, once you set your APN and data works, it just works. You may want to check by borrowing a friend's SIM Tmo, AT&T or any compatible network, set the right APN, test, troubleshoot and compare. Another issue could be your radio.
If you input the first proxy, some apps/things won't work and may be blocked from access i.e. speedtest

[Q] Galaxy S4 APNs for AT&T

I just got my Galaxy S4 yesterday and I am working on optimising it for speed and performance. One of the things that I noticed in the network settings is that I think I APN is set incorrectly.
I have a Nexus 4 and in order to get the best data speed I had to use the AT&T LTE APN or (PTA). I am assuming this should be the same on the Galaxy S4 yet when I go into my APN settings I have the AT&T PHONE APN.
It is my understanding that the Phone APN can only get HSPA+ and not LTE. Since this is an LTE phone shouldn't we use the PTA LTE APN?
I have ATT Phone as APN and I get LTE. Not sure about the other one you mentioned.

Maybe the PHONE APN is capable of receiving LTE but I am curious if the PTA APN would get faster data speeds.
RootzWiki http://rootzwiki.com/topic/31135-att-apns-for-custom-roms/
This post indicates that the PTA APN gets (All the Mbps)
Mine is using the PHONE APN and i have no problems getting LTE. Just did a speed test and i'm getting speeds of 50+Mbps over LTE so it seems to be working fine for me.
PHONE is an APN that AT&T umbrella'd all types of data connectivity under. PHONE will automatically choose to connect to the fastest available network in your area. PTA is what they were putting on phones when LTE phones were first being released, but since then, PHONE is the primary APN one should be using. Using PTA won't hurt anything, and should work fine, but why bother if PHONE is already programmed in there.
At least, that's what they the us at my AT&T Data Support call center I work at :/

And which is true.
Just FYI, on the HTC One there is absolutely no speed difference between the pta and phone apn's.
Can anyone post the PHONE APN setting, I am T-Mobile unlocked on AT&T need to enter that APN manually. Thanks!

Thanks, that's what i got. wasn't sure if there is an issue as i never see hspa+ in dayton. at least not yet. it is an hspa+ area. so wondering what the issue is--
only hspa 11 and hspap 15
NOT 4g speeds as advertised

Anyone know how to save new APNs? I'm on Omega ROM for the i9505, which has the old Cingular WAP settings in there but no 'ATT Phone' settings so I can use the LTE.
I enter the new APN then go to menu, and then save. However, instead of saving it just goes back to the screen with the one Cingular APN like I never entered or saved anything....

Has anyone had any issues with MMS suddenly not working? I wonder if the mobile APN for it has changed.

New NEXUS 4 APN Settings

NEXUS 4 APN Settings
Has anyone seen APN settings like theses and can you explain why they work?
Name: Straight Talk
APN: wap.tracfone
MMSC: http://mmsc.cingular.com
MMS Proxy: 66.209.11.32
MMS Port: 80
I live in Columbus,Ga using a T-Mobile sim on straight talk and tried everything I could find even ST customer service and nothing worked well. Then 1 night on straight talk CS chat the rep gave me this and now I get HSPA+ and 4G all over the area. What I don’t understand is the APN: wap.tracfone and the MMSC with cingular in it. All of the other APN’s I found at XDA, the net or straight talk never used those two items. Also I am using a hybrid radio flash but have been using various combinations of APN’s and radios since I got the phone and the APN is what made the difference.
I'm in Tmobile classic plan and my data has been slow the past week or so, not sure why. I am gonna try this APN just to see what happens, it is working, but I'll see how fast it is.

if it's cingular, then you probably actually have or they converted you to, AT&T

Thanks, that explains the cingular and Straight Talk does have, or had ATT, sims I have a T-mobile sim. I still don't see how an ATT APN works with a T-Mobile sim.
MMSC = multimedia messaging service center. Data does not use this unless it is MMS related. How is your MMS working? The other fields could be standard and you would actually be going thru T-Mobile for data.

My data is fine now, where before I was getting no data Again with this new APN I am getting data coverage in my area where until I changed to this APN I could not get coverage. I even asked at the local T-Moile store about coverage and they said that in my specific area coverage for data is not good but w/this change I am a happy customer.
was working. may be my fault i try again
